Manchester United renew interest in Stuttgart midfielder Angelo Stiller, valued at €50m

Manchester United continue to keep their attention on several emerging midfielders across Europe, and Angelo Stiller’s name stays high on their list. The 24-year-old midfielder has built a strong reputation at VfB Stuttgart. He anchors their build-up play with calm precision and tactical intelligence on the field. The German midfielder controls the game’s tempo, plays sharp passes, and reads spaces with awareness that attracts several elite clubs.

Journalist Dennis Bayer has meanwhile reported that Stuttgart now value Stiller at about €50 million. Manchester United’s interest has grown stronger in recent weeks. The German, though, feels happy where he is. He is aware that he plays a key role in a team that performs well in the league. Yet, Bayer adds that Stiller wants to take the next step in his career if the right offer arrives.

Stuttgart’s impressive form shows why they refuse to lose key players. Stiller runs their midfield so effectively that the club keeps a tight hold on him, and that price tag gives them full control in any negotiations. They reportedly exercised the option to buy out his release clause, which strengthens their stance even more.

Manchester United have tracked Stiller for some time, and their admiration for him has remained strong since last summer. Meanwhile, we reported earlier that Fabrizio Romano reiterated that United did not make last-minute efforts to sign Angelo Stiller. Still, their renewed interest proves that they have built a long-term plan. Meanwhile, we earlier reported that Manchester United are preparing early plans for 2026, tracking Angelo Stiller and Manu Koné as key midfield targets.

Evaluating whether Stiller fits United’s future midfield vision

If Manchester United chase Stiller yet again, they must balance their ambition with proper caution. The €50 million price looks high for a player who still needs to prove himself at the top level. The club’s past mistakes with expensive signings should remind them to act wisely. Obviously, Stiller brings clear value with his traits as he plays as a deep-lying playmaker who thrives on short passes, creativity, and control under pressure.

His skill set makes him a natural successor to Casemiro, whose career moves toward its final phase. Recent comparisons to Joshua Kimmich have also highlighted his tactical discipline and calmness in tight spaces. Still, United’s midfield lacks physical strength, and the club must consider that need carefully before spending heavily.

Liverpool and Bayern Munich may raise his price further. Their interest could start a bidding war that drives the market up. Manchester United, if they need to, should see this pursuit as an investment in a long-term talent, not a short-term solution, but they must stand firm on the valuation. Stiller suits Amorim’s tactics well, but paying an inflated fee makes sense only if they have full confidence in his impact. Otherwise, they will repeat the same costly mistakes that have held back their recruitment in recent years.
